Aristos had been struggling with his self image for as long as he could remember. Every aspect of his life was a battle when it was in his head, which is where he resided the most. He struggled with substance abuse and an array of mental illnesses, but that didn't stop him from trying to get his shit together. He was determined to make a living off of music, and die doing what he loves. Eventually, Aristos enrolled at the University of New Orleans, determined to sink his roots into the fundamentals of music to build a career. Everything was going smoothly for Aristos, until he started classes. ...that's when shit hit the fan. ☆⋆。𖦹°‧★ (The title is dedicated to the song Something In The Way by Nirvana.

My favorite... c': I sincerely hope you all enjoy, this fic will be far more tame and realistic than the last.
